There's been a lot of great stuff out there lately, and it's always a real challenge to limit these links to a handful--kind of like it's hard to limit your pen collection.

Contentment. Both Ray from FPQuest and Dr. Deans from Fountain Pen Economics wrote about limiting the acquisitions of new pens. Dr. Deans takes a "one-in/one-out" approach, and caps his pen collection at 10. Ray wrote about contentment, and while he may not have a hard cap on his collection, he's happy with what he has now and the bar for adding anything else is high.

Other Notes from This Week:

In case you missed it, this week on the blog I took a look at Monteverde capless gel refills that fit ballpoint pens from various manufacturers. I also gave you the list of my Five Best Fountain Pen Inks for Everyday Writing. On a somewhat different note, I've really been enjoying a Christmas gift I received this year from my family, an Amazon Echo. Not to weigh in too heavily on the what's-the-best-music-streaming-service wars being waged on the internet right now, but I've been happy with Prime Music's curated playlists, especially when it comes to finding relaxing background music to listen to while writing, journaling, reading, etc. I'm still putting the Echo through its paces, but it's a surprisingly well-made device that does a few useful things really well, and there's a lot of potential as Amazon expands its functionality. I was skeptical at first, but I'm coming around.

As always, thanks for reading!
